Dylan mentions Coach Vincent as having impacted his life the most at CHA "because he's always given me good advice and taught me a lot on and off the field". When asked what advice he has to leave for future generations of cougars Dylan says "Don't take your time at Central Hinds for granted and always listen to your teachers' and coaches' advice." Dylan plans to further his education at Hinds Community College in the fall and pursue a trade career.

He has gained membership in all of our honor societies: National Honor Society, Science National Honor Society, and Mu Alpha Theta Math Honor Society.

One of the most fun memories he has from his time here is winning in the first round of playoffs for baseball his junior year. He mentions Coach Etheridge as a staff member that has greatly impacted his time at CHA. He says " (he) not only taught me dual credit government where I learned everyone has different opinions but he also coached me in baseball". Noah's advice for future cougars is "Don't wish for what's next until you fully embrace what you already have.". Noah will attend The University of Southern Mississippi in the fall where he has received scholarships to the Honors College, for his ACT, and as a National Merit Semi Finalist.
